Yeah the dualshock2 is standard ps2 input and the fake dualshock2's will need a usb convertor too (maybe you can mod them yourself cutting and joining some wires like you can with the xbox pad, no idea).
The vanilla logitech wingmans don't have analog and have only 6 buttons, but still I found them better for such games than a kb/mouse.
There's a logitech wingman rumblepad as well for 2000.
Don't get any of the wingmans though, lame build quality.
Then there's the logitech rumblepad2, it's the first pad to not get any bad use reviews.
It's an exact copy of the dualshock2.
But that would be > 1500 as well.
An analog gamepad using the serial port available for 900 or so keeps appearing in local shops, forgot brand name.
But don't think the analog inputs will be as smooth + you need to swap with the printer everytime you want to use it.
I would suggest just make spend 2k for once, dualshock2 + usb covnertor is one of the best investments you can make.
It will never break and pop looks set to get a lot more sequals, and the racing games are always there.
